Chinese Silk Fabric - A History That Dates Back Thousands of Years The tradition dates back to ancient China thousands of years ago - the silk being made (probably) for more than 5,000 years. This precious stone moved across countries, kingdoms and empires as a trade material or even gift from one king to another. Under penalty of death, the knowledge of how to make silk was concealed from all others until half a century had passed. This gave silk an even more enhanced value and exclusivity.

The Incredible Production Process of Chinese Silk Fabric

Silkworm cocoons (constructs of Chinese silk fabric) Silk production begins by domesticating these silkworm larvae. Farmers look after them and provide a warm, comfortable house to reside in. That is very important for silkworms to be able to spin their cocoons. The cocoons are then gathered and boiled in hot water to strip away the outer layer. So it is very important to get that threads inside (the silk fibers) heated up in the boiling water. After the threads are made, they can now be gently pulled and connected to form one long thread. It is then woven into other threads to become the fabrics we know as silk, and different silks vary in softness, shine & strength.
